In many cases, we have worked with these manufacturers on first-of-a-kind
installations that require innovative construction solutions on site.

Chrysler Corporation was the first U.S. automotive manufacturer to build a
completely automated body assembly shop. It included a robotic spot welder and the
industry's first installation of an 11-stage unibody welding machine. John E. Green helped
to assemble the machine in the field, and provided hook-ups for cooling water and
compressed air. Chrysler used the automated facility for assembly of the K-car.

John E. Green has installed GMF automotive sealant and paint manipulators at several
sites. The articulated GMF manipulator sits on a stationary pedestal; our forces set both
the pedestals and the manipulators, and provided all hookups and piping for the machines.

The DeVilbis automotive paint system employs automated manipulators that travel the
length of the paint booth on fixed tracks. We installed the DeVilbis manipulators now used
in a major Detroit area truck assembly plant.

John E. Green was selected as mechanical contractor for the Industrial Technology
Institute in Ann Arbor, Michigan, the nation's first facility for industry-wide testing
and certification of industrial robots and automated machine tools. Our work included
hydraulic and pneumatic systems required to support all test cells and laboratories for
machine tools and robots.
